What would you do?

I have a major issue on my hands. I had veg'd approx 10 weeks, Which made most of them around 3-4ft all nice and bushy. I thought to have eliminated all males during this process.. I placed the plants in for flower, within the first week under 12/12 i noticed male traits on 3 plants which I moved out and killed right away. I also had a night in which all the plants might have been shocked from allowing the temps to go too cold. My problem now is I am noticing seed pockets popping up here and there all around all the rest of the female plants that have 8-15inch buds. What should I do? I am not sure if those males actually pollinated those females or if they went hermie from temp shock?

All input would be very helpful..

EDIT** I have 4 week left in flower....

what can you do? just harvest and pick the seeds out of your bud.

Would it be a better chance they went hermie or were pollinated by those late showing males?

how cold did it get? temp isnt usually enough to stress a plant to hermie. most strains can do fine in cold temps. so most likely pollinated

u can pull the seed pods off carefully and chech the flowers for seeds, although thats a long boring pain in the ass job. i've just done it and i also used products called 'dutch master reverse' and 'dutch master penetrator'. this stops production of male hormones and seeds, its used in the commercial food industry for seedless fruits, like grapes and melons. read this link for a total run down on hermies

can't really say they are hermie 100%. possible they are intersex from the late males pollinating the flowers?... that is a chance.. are the seeds i am now collecting are they good for use?

Hermies are females that create seeds themselves from stress? am I wrong? There is that chance that i allowed the males to pollinate those females..

hermies are most commonly strain dependent but usually stress induced (ie. disrupted light cycle, eratic feeding/watering, pH, RH, temp, ect.)
They produce male and female flowers, and they pollinate themselves. If hermie is only to a certain degree, you can clip away the male pollen sacs, but they may comeback. Pain in the ass all around but once in while you can salavge them.

these were not fem seeds from what I know. NL and WW..

both come in feminized versions but if you didnt order them then probably not. He way saying those products are used in breeding feminized seeds, but they work together and can stop male flower growth while allowing female growth to continue.

hence: its called reverse and u use it with penetrator so it gets absorbed through the plants stomata

the seeds i collect are usable? are them fem? or are they regular where both male and female could sprout???

not sure but i think i read sumwhere that seeds from a hermie are more likely to be fem'd but dont quote me on that, go to that thread i linked and read the guys stuff, the info's in there sumwhere.

can you spray seedlings with DM reverse and expect more females?

What would you do?
